It is known that if $M,\,N$ are continuous two-variable means such that $|M(x,y)-N(x,y)| < |x-y|$ for every $x,\ y$ with $x\ne y$, then there exists a unique invariant mean (which is continuous too). We are looking for invariant means for…

We prove that whenever the selfmapping $(M_1,\dots,M_p)\colon I^p \to I^p$, ($p \in \mathbb{N}$ and $M_i$-s are $p$-variable means on the interval $I$) is invariant with respect to some continuous and strictly monotone mean $K \colon I^p…

We show that, for a (not necessarily continuous) weakly contractive mean-type mapping $\mathbf{M} \colon I^p\to I^p$ (where $I$ is an interval and $p \in \mathbb{N}$), the functional equation $K \circ \mathbf{M}=K$ has at most one solution…

In the finite dimensional case, mean-type mappings, their invariant means, relations between the uniqueness of invariant means and convergence of orbits of the mapping, are considered. In particular it is shown, that the uniqueness of an…

Let m(a,b) and M(a,b,c) be symmetric means. We say that M is type 1 invariant with respect to m if M(m(a,c),m(a,b),m(b,c)) = M(a,b,c) for all a, b, c > 0. If m is strict and isotone, then we show that there exists a unique M which is type 1…

For a sequence of continuous, monotone functions $f_1,\dots,f_n \colon I \to \mathbb{R}$ ($I$ is an interval) we define the mapping $M \colon I^n \to I^n$ as a Cartesian product of quasi-arithmetic means generated by $f_j$-s. It is known…

We prove that whenever $M_1,\dots,M_n\colon I^k \to I$, ($n,k \in \mathbb{N}$) are symmetric, continuous means on the interval $I$ and $S_1,\dots,S_m\colon I^k \to I$ ($m <n$) satisfies a sort of embeddability assumptions then for every…

For a given $p$-variable mean $M \colon I^p \to I$ ($I$ is a subinterval of $\mathbb{R}$), following (Horwitz, 2002) and (Lawson and Lim, 2008), we can define (under certain assumption) its $(p+1)$-variable $\beta$-invariant extension as…

e study the properties of the mean-type mappings ${\bf M}\colon I^p \to I^p$ of the form $${\bf M}(x_1,\dots,x_p):=\big(M_1(x_{\alpha_{1,1}},\dots,x_{\alpha_{1,d_1}}),\dots,M_p(x_{\alpha_{p,1}},\dots,x_{\alpha_{p,d_p}})\big),$$ where $p$…

Inferring the means in the multivariate normal model $X \sim N_n(\theta, I)$ with unknown mean vector $\theta=(\theta_1,...,\theta_n)' \in \mathbb{R}^n$ and observed data $X=(X_1,...,X_n)'\in {\mathbb R}^n$ is a challenging task, known as…

Extending the notion of projective means we first generalize an invariance identity related to the Carlson log given in a recent paper of P. Kahlig and J. Matkowski, and then, more generally, given a bivariate symmetric, homogeneous and…

We characterize all pairs $(\beta,n),(\beta^\prime,m)$ such that the alternate $(\beta,n)$ and $(\beta^\prime,m)$-transformations $K_{(\beta,n)}$ and $K_{(\beta^\prime,m)}$ have the same absolutely continuous invariant measure, where…

Let $m,n\ge 2$ be integers. Denote by $M_n$ the set of $n\times n$ complex matrices. Let $\|\cdot\|_{(p,k)}$ be the $(p,k)$ norm on $M_{mn}$ with $1\leq k\leq mn$ and $2<p<\infty$. We show that a linear map $\phi:M_{mn}\rightarrow M_{mn}$…

For a large class of nonuniformly expanding maps of $\Bbb R^m$, with indifferent fixed points and unbounded distorsion and non necessarily Markovian, we construct an absolutely continuous invariant measure. We extend to our case techniques…

Each family $\mathcal{M}$ of means has a natural, partial order (point-wise order), that is $M \le N$ iff $M(x) \le N(x)$ for all admissible $x$. In this setting we can introduce the notion of interval-type set (a subset $\mathcal{I}…

We prove a weak-type (1,1) inequality for square functions of non-commutative martingales that are simultaneously bounded in $L^2$ and $L^1$. More precisely, the following non-commutative analogue of a classical result of Burkholder holds:…

We study a class of one-dimensional full branch maps admitting two indifferent fixed points as well as critical points and/or unbounded derivative. Under some mild assumptions we prove the existence of a unique invariant mixing absolutely…

It is known that Iterated Function Systems generated by orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the unit interval admit a unique invariant measure on $(0,1)$. The setup for this result is the positivity of Lyapunov exponents at both fixed…

Let $I\subseteq\mathbb{R}$ be a nonempty open subinterval. We say that a two-variable mean $M:I\times I\to\mathbb{R}$ enjoys the \emph{balancing property} if, for all $x,y\in I$, the equality \begin{equation}\tag{1}…

Expanding maps with indifferent fixed points, a.k.a. intermittent maps, are popular models in nonlinear dynamics and infinite ergodic theory. We present a simple proof of the exactness of a wide class of expanding maps of [0,1], with…
